Lorenzo Pieralisi 1a2cce5b91 irqchip/gic-v5: Fix kmemleak L2 IST table entries false positives
L2 IST table entries are allocated with the kmalloc interface and their
physical addresses are programmed in the GIC (either IST base address
register or L1 IST table entries) but their virtual addresses are not
stored in any kernel data structure because they are not needed at runtime
- the L2 IST table entries are managed through system instructions but
never dereferenced directly by the driver.

This triggers kmemleak false positive reports:

unreferenced object 0xffff00080039a000 (size 4096):
  comm "swapper/0", pid 0, jiffies 4294892296
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):

Instruct kmemleak to ignore L2 IST table memory allocation virtual
addresses to prevent these false positive reports.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
